Guinness Three Cheese Crab Dip

So, I currently have a whole bunch of Guinness Beer left in my fridge after making my favorite St. Patrick’s Day Cheesecake. But, I want to do something a little different this time and make a Three Cheese Guiness Crab Dip! The secret to a great Crab Dip is really the crab, use real lump crab meat, highlight it & don’t forget the Old Bay 😉

By adding the beer we are going to add in a rich depth that pairs well with the cheese. The alcohol content will cook out leaving just the rich flavor behind. I love pairing this dip with soft pretzels, sliced baguette, or even tortilla chips!

This recipe is really quick to put together & is great for parties! It also taste just as amazing as a cold dip, after blending just scoop it straight into a bowl and omit the shredded cheddar at the end. Just remember if you don’t cook it, you will still have the alcohol content inside.

Making The Dip

Next, add in the Garlic Powder, Paprika, Old Bay, Green Onions, Shaved Parmesan, Minced onion, the Beer, & the chopped Red Peppers. Blend well. Now you will want to take the dip and fold in the crab meat by hand.

Spray a baking dish with non stick cooking spray. Transfer the dip into your dish. Top it with your shredded cheddar cheese, you can be as liberal as you want. I just used about a half of a cup (covering it entirely).

Finally, I baked it in the oven for about 35 minutes at 350°. It’s done when the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown. You’ll want to let it cool for at least 5-8 minutes so it’s not piping hot! Serve alongside your favorite bread, crackers, chips, or even veggie sticks.
